Broken clutch springs

[NM]

Hey all turbo 2 stroke guys and gals...check your primary clutch spring. We have seen at least 20 broken Team springs so far this season and of course causes drive ability issues.
We use Orange Team springs, so not sure if it's a bad batch or what, but did not experience this the last two seasons.
The sled will have low rpm engagement and will have trouble reaching full rpm.
We have two in our shop right now that came in with broken springs and the customers did not know.
Cheers

We've had 3 in our group within the last 3 weeks. One caused over rev and was hitting det.

Hey Neil. I purchased two from you guys. First one failed in under 20 miles, second made about 160 miles. Switched to the Polaris almond red and have had no more failures in 600 miles. I think Team had a bad batch.

I think they must have. Thanks for the feedback.

Ya we have seen it both ways. It depends on how they mesh together after they break. Normally is causes under revving but have seen it the other way like you did. Thanks

I had the same problem with the orange spring, broken on first ride. Switched over to SLP, so far so good.

We have had about 10 team orange springs bust as well. EPI also makes a yellow in the same rate.

Was one of those mine by chance?

Thats good news! I hate to even say it, but I have never personally broke one either...bet I will now though. Lol

I used to change mine every fall. Just to know I had new in there for the Winter. Dunno if I had to but I did.

We think we may have found a solution to the spring breaking issue. We have ordered some new springs from a company that uses a different process to build the springs and they claim it will fix it.
We will install some springs on customers sleds and keep this thread updated.
